AN: Kaze thinks he's not a hero. Set sometime during the series, I just don't know when.

Disclaimer: I don't own FF:U.


Hero

You know what?

I'm no hero.

No matter what the others might think, I'm no hero.

Those children and that woman, Lisa, they can think that their beloved Kuroki Kaze is a hero, waiting to save them from the evil clutches of Chaos.

But that's not true.

Because I'm not a hero.

I know what a hero is. And hero I am not.

Heroes are brave and selfless, you know?

Yeah, sure, you might call me brave for going against Chaos, but really, it's my revenge that spurns me on. It makes me oblivious to the dangers that Chaos exudes…because I'm just focused on revenge.

Oh, and revenge. Heroes aren't vengeful, are they? They sort of…forgive and forget, I guess. But they're not so focused on revenge that they would sacrifice innocent lives.

Like I would.

Because heroes are selfless.

Really, if you want me to admit it, the only one I think that should be called a true hero is my nemesis, Shiroi Kumo.

Because he has a lot of guts playing a lie for Chaos. To be with Chaos, and to be against him at the same time.

He's the true hero here.

I'm not.

So stop talking about me like I'm a hero.

I know heroes.

And I'm no hero.


AN: Hopefully, I'll get the companion piece to this up soon. It's called Cowardice, if you're interested…
